Golf clubs are of different natures. We distinguish the wood to allow for long shots (used mostly on areas from which to put the ball in play), the iron shots that allow shorter but much sharper and the hybrids are a mixture of wood and iron, that is to say they have the accuracy of irons and distance of wood. Originally, bullets were made of leather envelopes filled with feathers, before being discovered in 1850 the formidable qualities of a gum Malaysia called gutta percha. Today, the golf ball, a rubber core covered with a polymer shell, must comply with the rules of competition. Its weight should not exceed 47.62 grams (1.62 ounces) and its diameter must be 42.67 mm (1.68 inch). Both rooms have a large rubber core covered with an envelope generally highly resistant synthetic material (Surlyn). They create less spin (rotation on themselves) during the swing, but provide long distance and allow greater precision in the game have Multiple smaller core, surrounded by two or three layers of middlemen and a shell external flexibility. They allow experienced players to exploit their ability to generate spin to shape their trajectory at the expense of the distance. The player to hit his ball on the move can be placed on a wooden dowel or plastic called T, which can not be used outside departures. The usefulness of a tee is to raise the ball to facilitate the use of special golf clubs (see paragraph on wood) and limit the degradation of grass. This term also refers to the starting area. A player carrying his series of clubs in a golf bag often carried by a carriage, which can be electric. The younger set is called, in allusion to carrier bags of great players during their game (in English, shopping cart). The caddy also means the person maneuvering the cart or carry bag of player he is the only one to have the right to advise the player also to assess the club to use and analyze the slopes on the greens. One can also mention that some players use golf carts, also known Golfete, to move on the course. They usually include two seats and can have two bags in the rear. Some have four seats.

In the commune of Hill in the metropolitan region of Chile is located on Club de Golf Las Brisas de Chicureo (Photo1) inserted into the condominium of the same name. Undoubtedly one of the greatest golf courses I have visited a total of 36 holes which are divided into two courts: the Valle and Cancha Cancha Mountain both indoors in a building project of about 800 hectares with 140 hectares ( approximate) of court, a challenge of maintenance and logistics to general manager and superintendent Mr. Pablo Cornejo Robinson that with the help of Manuel Hidalgo and a team of 43 people keep the golf course and gardens of the Club House. Paul tells us that started working on the site since its design and construction in 1996. FFV estate project developed and commissioned the design of this course the American architect Mike Asmundson, the same Club de Golf Hacienda Golf Club Chicureo and Mapocho. The company in charge of executing the project was the Construction Ignacio Hurtado. Within the first management challenges that Paul faced was to reduce the costs associated with irrigation of 140 hectares of grass, to which Paul reduced the "green zone" of areas surrounding the court and did not require grass, sold cover as sod or grass carpet so to use those resources in the implementation of the new landscape design, part of the field and from which you can play in the event fall. Predominate in these simple and clean spaces, covered with sorghum, ornamental grasses, native and low water requirement, in addition to creating bike lanes (Photo 2) and the maintenance of trails for wildlife in the area. The management of water resources have been a constant in the work of Paul and his team, especially during construction, which have had to divert, strengthen and build broken (Fig. 3), maintaining harmony and curves of the predominant landscape Las Brisas (Photo 4). Certainly the maintenance of a harmonious landscape for the player and the creation of "new in the landscape, such as spaces with fine fescue and bunkers of millet, my favorite (picture 5), solid with native species, has been a continuous the work of fourteen of Paul in the Brisas. In 2002 Pablo Cornejo was awarded the ELGA (Environmental Leaders in Golf Awards) for his work in water resource management, social development, preservation of flora and fauna and efficient management of resources. This award is presented by the Association of Superintendents of golf courses in the United States and companies associated with the item. With regard to the composition of the tennis lawn, Paul tells us that fairways and roughs are composed of a mixture of ryegrass (Lolium sp) and fine fescue (creeping and chewing - Festuca rubra) in proportion 80/20 and architecture greens USGA are Agrostis palustris variety SR 1020.La cutting height of the greens is between 0120-0135 inches (0.34 to 0.30 cm). Fairways two ranges in cutting deals that fall into two areas: the fairway itself, between 0.65 to 0.75 inches (1.65 to 1.9 cm) and aprons with a cutting height from 0.4 to 0.5 inches (1.01 to 1.27 cm). For its part, the tees they cut to a height between 0.4 to 0.5 inches (1.01 to 1.27 cm). The previous stage in ranges are handled, depending on the season and the respective maintenance work.The cutoff frequency is daily for the greens, 3-4 times per week for the fairways and 2-3 times per week in the roughs. The work of aeration takes place twice a year in greens, in fairways, however, the frequency is focused in particular areas: items 2 times a year and approach a once a year. As always in my visits feature what I call the attention of the golf club, in this case was the order and innovation in the design of the landscape, occupying native and introduced species and the management of watercourses respecting the appearance of landscape. Finally, as is customary in every article about a club, a photo marking the tees, which in this case correspond to carved stones (Photo 6). I want to thank Mr. Pablo Cornejo for their time and policy Superintendents Association Golf Tennis Chile for their contacts and ongoing support to the publication of articles relating to golf courses in Chile.
